Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is used by the Company as a performance measure for benchmarking against the Companys peers and competitors.  The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the restaurant industry. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA which excludes certain special or non-recurring expenses, net of certain special or non-recurring benefits, detailed in the reconciliation tables set forth above, and adjusted general and administrative, which excludes Arbys indirect corporate overhead, and purchasing cooperative and integration costs, as internal measures of business operating performance.  The Company believes such financial measures provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Companys current business.  EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted general and administrative are not recognized terms under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA, similarly titled financial measures or adjusted general and administrative in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures and should not be considered as alternative measures of operating profit or net loss, or general and administrative.

The Companys presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted general and administrative is not intended to replace the presentation of the Companys financial results in accordance with GAAP.
